Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Adventure Mode - 01 (The Beginning)

[TheGOTH13]

awesome game but they should do a remake with better graphics not trollin its just i cant play like this

[noobnubcakes]

Its funny how none of the posts on here are about the video but instead are just arguments about dwarf fortress's graphics.

[Roxervids]

@noobnubcakes Nope. Just simply trolling someone.

[CyberPunkVintage]

I'm not saying that good graphics is everything but shitty graphics is a big turn off for most gamers and in fact , unlike to what you say in your 1-month-old comment, usually games with shitty graphics are not as enjoyable as games with average - to good graphics games!But of course we are awesome if we say the exact opposite of the common truth and make it sound its real so we think that we are smart...wait what was the word ? VANITY !:D Hmm maybe you don't get my point though :/

[IfureadthisURdum]

WTF is this game, it looks like your playing a command prompt.

[VampireShogun]

When i play this it looks different..... how come?

[RabblerouserGT]

"If you're not familiar with dwarf fortress, that's a table, these are chairs."

Why did I laugh at that?

[lifehole1]

oh man, if only adventure mode were still this good. It's getting better. I'm going to re-watch this series.

[jed899]

If i see another modern warfare 3 complaint i will shoot arrows at your knees, call in for a moab, falcon punch you all and DOABARRELROLL

[jopacushamy]

This game needs better graphics and UI, not to be pretty but to make it playable. I want to be able to get a ton of information just from looking at the screen, there is no need for all these menu screens.

[AntiNubDevice]

@jopacushamy Then play a game that isn't menu-based, maybe? Try Civilization.

[Skelly50001]

games with shit graphics r better cuz think of minecraft :D

[ElectroDuckStudios]

@Skelly50001 Go kill yourself??

[Drbolla345]

Fuck Yes!!! 34.01 Is out!!!! Necromancy here I fucking come!

[WhiteLama]

The names! They are glorious!

[756secret]

1:54 so begins the adventure of the man who had basements

[mettalink13]

Dwarf Fortress: The only game where you can tear the leg off a wolf and then beat the wolf to death with it.

[pewpewlololo]

this is what gamers hell looks like

[Roxervids]

@NeonMonkey0 Yea because cod is such an unpopular game. I can never get anybody to join my server in MW3 it's so DESERTED.

[hildegain]

@Roxervids Your original comment about graphics could have been phrased better really. "Games created with visuals in mind tend to be less interesting than those that are not". Then you'd have been 100% correct.

[Roxervids]

@hildegain Yes, that would have been more accurate to reality but if Youtube comments were really thought about before they were posted I wouldn't be getting spammed by some kid thinking Elton John's Rocketman is dedicated to Eminem

[hildegain]

@Roxervids Well you know, spending too much time on youtube comments will drop your IQ down, take a vacation if the stupid gets too high :)

[Roxervids]

@hildegain Yea....I think every time you type "faggot" into the youtube comments your keyboard should zap you.

[hildegain]

@Roxervids Couldn't agree more lol

[mettalink13]

@Roxervids Ok really? what was the first thing you did when you got MW3? Play online? That is DISGRACEFUL.

[Roxervids]

@mettalink13 I didn't get MW3 it looked exactly like MW2....and what does that have to do with my comment????

[aloysisK]

@NeonMonkey0 imma sutped faec :D

[goton564]

The first LP Jef video... This is where it all started!

[aloysisK]

@NeonMonkey0 Yes, let's judge things by how popular they are. That means Nickleback is a good band, and smoking is AWESOME. Idiot.

[masterchief2nd]

@NeonMonkey0 Cod has terrible graphics xD

[Roxervids]

Fun fact:Games with good graphics are usually not as good as games with shitty graphics

[SlipSloop]

@Roxervids minesweeper is underrated

[MegaSonicKing]

@Roxervids Two words .Thats mostly fake unless its cod.But dwarf fortress graphics are too bad .But a simple texture pack fixes that :)

[Roxervids]

@MegaSonicKing What? "Two words." Proceeds to say 6 words. Also, what's mostly fake? I never said that because Dwarf Fortress is in ASCII that it's bad. 

[MegaSonicKing]

@Roxervids No no no .Dwarf fortress is great .But one of the only shooters with good graphics that is bad right now is cod .Thats the only good graphics shitty game i know of

[MegaSonicKing]

@Roxervids Also i didnt say that just dwarf fortress ASCII was bad .Its just confusing

[Xenthera]

@Roxervids yeah, but this isn§t even grafiks. xDDD

[MrBlooDudette]

@Roxervids This game is so much better with a tileset though.

[Roxervids]

@MrBlooDudette We can't have the best of both worlds?

[MrBlooDudette]

@Roxervids Not usually, no.

[Roxervids]

@MrBlooDudette It is possible. Don't tell me the odds, damnit!

[dfairbanks06]

@Roxervids Fun fact: graphics have next to nothing to do with how much fun a game is.

[Roxervids]

@dfairbanks06 Usually people who focus on graphics more make that the top priority instead of gameplay. Not saying that there aren't good games with good graphics as well, but that's why I included "Usually" in my comment :)

[AntiNubDevice]

@Roxervids That's a fun opinion. Definitely not a fact, though. =)

All other reasoning aside, there are so many MORE games with shitty graphics than with good graphics that there will be more good games with shitty graphics than good games with good graphics.

In terms of percentages, which is the relevant factor, the same problem with your comment comes up. Because there are so many more games with shitty graphics, the percentage of good games is higher in the good graphics category. Oops.

[Roxervids]

@AntiNubDevice You can literally say that for the exact opposite thing though. The percent of shitty low graphic games is higher because there are more of them. Also, there are pretty much almost as many semi-popular games that have good graphics as there are semi - popular ones with shitty graphics. The fact is when a developer focus' more on the game itself and not about the exterior it is a better game. You also say it like I looked at a chart and saw shitty games had a higher percent. Oops.

[CyberPunkVintage]

@Roxervids Fun fact!You're wrong!Best games also had good graphics for their time of release like in 90s and so on!Doom,myst,quake,hl,elder scrolls,and many more that had average to above average graphics are now considered classic.Fun Fact no2:People whinne about how awesome games used to be in the past and now they suck yet still older games are now unplayable in terms of ease to use.Fun Fact3:games with shitty graphics usually suck big time compared to average-good graphics games ;)

[Roxervids]

@CyberPunkVintage Dude Call Of Duty MW3 is genius I dunno what your talking about elder scrolls was shit, in fact all games are shit execpt COD MW3.

Except the facts,bro, your totally wrong you fukin loser butthurt

[CyberPunkVintage]

@Roxervids I'm not really accustomed with the english language and slang expressions but I think that you're referring me as 'butthurt' because I wrong and I know it thusly I react all mad stating groundless accusations!Ha!In my eyes you're the butthurt x] And in my experience , people who state their opinion as facts will do whatever they can so not to admit they are wrong and its just their opinion! Maybe you can also download a 2600 atari emulator and play all these awesome games now :) prick

[Roxervids]

@CyberPunkVintage Lolz bro u just mad that u a faggot faggy fag fag faggot.

[CyberPunkVintage]

@Roxervids I was arguing with a low intellectual being all along ._. I feel terrible

[Roxervids]

@CyberPunkVintage Lol u faggot if u message me again imma go report u to FBI for faggy

[Roxervids]

@CyberPunkVintage Lol you have no idea how easy it is to troll on youtube. I mean on any other website somebody would've figured me out. Heh. Welp, thanks for the laughs. You are truly gullible.

[MrSammotube]

Let's not beat around the hairybasement...

[snowdevil002]

>praise fish

>experience rivers

>consider lakes

The sea is heaven. fish are gods.

We all live in it.

[gamefreak5671]

how do you set trees on fire?

[humanking2212]

Jef walks into a jewelry store, buys a neclklace... and LICKS IT!

[brainsbeer5]

And so the legend began...

[Exalindor1]

what kind of computer cant handle this game? even one made with stones and sticks can handle it

[TheWistfulWanderer]

@Exalindor1 Actually DF is really hard on computers. Not because of graphics, but because of RAM and processor use. Utterly crippling. PCGamer once said that this game was the most memory intensive game of all time.

[Exalindor1]

@TheWistfulWanderer Oh, I didnt knew that. Thanks for telling me that.

[Exalindor1]

@TheWistfulWanderer By the way, do you know why that would be?

[TheWistfulWanderer]

@Exalindor1 Yes actually. DF calculates thousands upon thousands of pathfinding systems, temperature simulations, and liquid simulations. Not to mention combat, and the fact that the injuries and behavioral stats of every single dwarf and other creature are tracked with very high accuracy.

[Exalindor1]

@TheWistfulWanderer Wow, relly impressive, I guess that is the reason because it has pixel graphics.

[adamrules01]

lol i can imagine going into a shop and trading my socks and underpants for an amulet.

[46x1Problem]

"Hmmmmm I can't see male humans .... must be something wrong with my graphics card?"

[MyEggIsBoiled]

My word does this look beyond complicated.

[KrouchKauai]

@limneosgreen No way

[sansdeity420]

@limneosgreen LOL gt4? are you fucking serious? you think thats the best game ever made? you're a fucking noob and a faggot.

[Peanutbuttergamen]

@sansdeity420 LOL you pissed him off so much he closed his account! You sir are a true Dwarven Defending Dickhead Destroyer.

[denzelopogi07]

is this a game for the notepad?lol

[LuigiKat11]

" I just traded my socks and my underpants for a necklace" XDDD

[30goru]

@limneosgreen Everyone has their preferences...You like free roam shoot `em ups while Agranadio likes in depth, complex story and combat. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean anyone else doesnt like it either.

[omnimon99]

WHO IS HERE THROUGH MINECRAFT

[darthbird1999]

This is crappy

[96aberma1]

this game just make me sleep

[iDarkMadness]

My First DF Adventure! - Ross Wartworm Diesandal of Hiegan was setting his foot in this new land for the first time! He visited the local tavern in search of adventure and fortune! One of the bone doctors told him that a creature of the night was stalking the village, and was in the village's sewer system! So Ross wen't down, only to find Elvish guts spewed across the floor. He then saw a giant rat, that then ripped his leg off and chewed his brain out! GAME OVER. BEST GAME EVER. PERIOD.

[gunandhec]

i dont get it... but it's Notch's inspiration :D

[gigidygrunt12]

@gunandhec wrong notch wase inspired by infiniminer

[Puffsmeal]

@gigidygrunt12 Infiniminer, Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper actually.

[gigidygrunt12]

@Puffsmeal huh h emetiond 1 i metiond 1 you metiond 1 kinda odd how ther all difrent nice

[Puffsmeal]

I named my character: Richard Treebaked the Fondled Bloody Anus of Mortification.

[usedtodoit]

I have ati hd 6995. can my graphics card handle this game???

[Matthmatt1213]

@usedtodoit No. The graphics are far too advanced.

[Matthmatt1213]

LOL. I chose the eat option, then my dagger: YOU LICK THE COPPER DAGGER. BEST LINE EVER!

[djcamoguy]

@usedtodoit LOL

[Trakheed]

@usedtodoit not even close

[JIANLONG75]

@usedtodoit no duh

[usedtodoit]

@JIANLONG75 :) thats what i was afraid of

[1337snake888]

@usedtodoit I think you need to stick with battlefield 3. This game is graphically INTENSE.

[crazyjak56]

@usedtodoit I don't know bro, that's pushing it right there.

[axelthegreat9]

@usedtodoit you're cutting it close with that, might be laggy...

[Zilerrezko]

@usedtodoit depends, this is a highly RAM intensive game, your going to need about 18 GB at least

[DOSDestroyer]

@usedtodoit

Hmm...  Try it on low because high can destroy most super computers.

[hildegain]

@usedtodoit Nope, it's a chinese knock-off of a 7200.

[B00Dr]

@usedtodoit no sorry...

[TheBlackBritt]

@usedtodoit Sorry dude, i get about 1 fps with my sli 580 gtx, i7, and 16 gb ram.

[MindTrixx1]

@usedtodoit No actually.

[oliverjon80]

the names are the funniest parts!

[araspaulius]

How do you go to quicktravel menu,and how do you find your task location ?????

[ShadoShade]

@ispitononlamas You're probably joking, but.... Dwarf Fortress kicks almost all the games being released this month's ass...

[ispitonlamas]

My TI 84 has better graphics lol

[TheVoiceOfReasonSays]

@drplbiftin I bet you eenjoy HARDCORE XDXD cawwadooty games.

[Strytax]

wtf is this

[thing2liv]

@Strytax best game ever.

[rupert484]

Anyone know what graphic pack this is?

[thing2liv]

@rupert484 the default

[danyxas99]

My brain is too small to get every fucking thing of this game understand it in my head...

[wetehlolz]

My experience in DF: Adventure mode? Epic. I slew towns with my awesome wooden stick. No one had matched my might, and I broke skulls and sent heads flying..And then I got killed by a cat. 

[tomek123kotek]

I managed not to get immediately and completely killed, my damn chest was torn open and my lung was pierced and I survived with a gigantic scar across my chest.

[MrRudiMentary]

Wow. I found Jef's first ever video completely by accident.

[OutoftheblueNinja]

LUL GRAPHICS 1980s hahaa

[putput678]

The legend of Bengal Hairybasement shall live on!

[keyreper]

what mod are you useing?

[keyreper]

this is the third time im going to watch this series

[Ygdrasel]

I tried to enjoy this game. Three times. But the graphics are eyerape...So I tried a graphical mod. It was still shitty, probably not a good-quality tileset or whatever. But, that aside, what really ruined this for me is a very basic flaw: The interface is pure garbage.

[seanobi777]

@drplbiftin This is the most awesome roguelike game I have ever played!

[eltomato159]

I started playing this game, got confused, looked it up, started watching this video. The first second it started I heard it and I'm like "!!!! :D :D :D :D IT'S JEFMAJOR :D :D :D I DIDN'T KNOW HE DOES DWARF FORTRESS" Then I watched the video twice while waiting for my world to load.

[gzu17]

@eltomato159 He started out LPing Adventure mode. In fact, this is his first video.

... man, that was years ago.

[eltomato159]

@gzu17 Ya I know but before I didn't know he did it.

[Proishpwnager]

What program did you use to film df? FRAPS doesnt work for me...

[kiddCOWBOYY1]

this is soo good for a first video ever!

[agranadio]

lol, after spending about 30 minutes with Dwarf fortress I have concluded: Dwarf mode (the expedition thingy) is frankly ridiculously complexed, adventure mode has hilarious combat (I had both of my arms ripped off by a crocodile after killing it's mother), and having red briefly through the "legends" of my world I lolled at the story of a lazy dragon, a bastard hydra who ate most of the humans and a group of Kobolds who starved to death together in a cave.

In conclusion: Best. Game. Ever.

[Spyman170]

huemayn, because i am a huemayn

[snypervyper]

he he, it took me 5 different tries to kill a bandit, then when i finnaly kiled it I went to a labrynth and one shoted a minotaur and then fought a titan, but i was losing so i ran

[mamagz]

02.00 and the legend was born

[JasonBombzero]

i think i like dwarf fortress. i just cant figure out how to play it =(. and yah screw graphics when a game is this grand.

[allegraissmart]

Best game ever (Except MAYBE minecraft. MAYBE.)

But I use a tileset

[TheMightyShell]

@allegraissmart Notch got a lot of inspiration from Minecraft. I would be estatic to see Minecraft become a (similar) version of Dwarf Fortress.

[allegraissmart]

@TheMightyShell You may want to amend your first sentence. But yeah, I read that.

[minibuddy9I]

Fuck all you shitheads who think graphics are better than the fucking game

[minigunexo]

Boring game even super mario bros beats this.

[chicknwang93]

One time I was playing this game I got my toe ripped off by Bogeymen. They then proceed to punch my head and gore me until I passed out and eventually died. This game is brutal.

[TheMightyShell]

@chicknwang93 Haha, brutal yeah. My character was a wrestler, managed to get four wolves by the throat and proceeded to choke them all out one after the other, then proceeded to bite each of their heads off.

Fucking awesome.

[EriK8520]

I am trying to get into that game, but I find controls(options) confusing, not graphics..

[Zhucci]

>not being dwarf adventured

>thumb down, close window immediately

[jfsathome]

WTB HD version of the video.

/whistles innocently

[PawlOwl]

LUL GRAPHICS 1980s hahaa

[Denkyuu]

@PawlOwl Except that it came out in 2006...

[Toxicz12]

@PawlOwl it's an ascii library

and it's not from the 80's.

[xxkeevxx]

These wolves do NOT want to negotiate...

[sol200997]

this game is unique but it doesnt look that good

[MrPivotPie]

@sol200997 It is....

[FuriedFrank]

I really think EA (or better some other company) should buy DF cheap and create some nice graphics for this game. The result would be astounding when they leave all of the game mechanics in it :-)

[cjspartacus]

@FuriedFrank You mean like the way EA made C&C so much better? No Bay12 are quite adequate for the needs of this game. I actually like the back to basics 'gameplay>everything else' approach. Minecraft and Terraria have done it too and I think we are seeing a revolution of game players who are fed up with a beautiful game that costs £30 ($50) and offers 5 - 10 hours of gameplay before it is uninstalled and forgotten. Vive La Revolution!

[evilpie1766]

@FuriedFrank if ea bought then it would no longer be freeware and they would most likely stop updating it

[cfearw]

this game doesn't see too cutting edge.there was an '80's game by the same title.why people would play an outdated game is beyond me.at least in rs or d&d online you get some interaction with other players.fyi,this guy thought he'd be finished in epesode 1 and he made up to 80+ episodes lol.

[ulak5150]

I think I ate somethign i shouldnt of, this looks a litle 3d to me, and I dont has anything reltated to 3d....

[30goru]

The first game i`ve ever seen when you can wrestle a wolf and get the right part of your spleen ripped! lol

[dfvdvdfbvaew]

BENGEL HAIR!!! that's where you got your guild 2 sons name from!!!

[ALEXANDER1318]

Hey, is that the same cyclops you lost your second "f" to? You did mention something like that in your channel intro...

[oddmanout1792]

i just started playing this game, knowing nothing about it. i searched around some forests and rivers and fell asleep i don't even know where. i was awoken by the "sound of cackling" where i was ambushed by a boogeyman, slowly had every limb broken and torn off, tried to flee through the river, but then drowned, bloody and vomiting.

[leafblight27]

@oddmanout1792

never ever ever sleep out in the wilderness at night, boogie man will always find you :O

[GrandChamp1989]

lolol, looks like this game was created in 1983... Thanks man, overall this is not for me :)

[supertuho]

thanks you helped me to realize this game is 400million years old

[VoorkJTV]

@supertuho idiot

[Tabe112]

The first time I player, I remember being ambushed by like...200 boogey men, I killed half of them by pushing one to the ground. Then they kicked me in one of the fingers and I broke my leg and died...

[iDarkMadness]

Long honey nob sparkle LOLOLOLOL

[ThatAnimatedIndieKid]

I leik rasaling. Ima be a rasaler.

[yoyoboy70]

the lack of graphics in this game is what makes it good, for some people atleast. It leaves such imagination to the game, you ever look at the text logs for the combat for your dwarfs, it's like reading from a book.

[wewantdreamcast2]

Good old times!

[PlankofWood1]

This game sucks. How do you throw the ultraball or play cs_office on it?

[hgsh0t]

WOW COD is way better graphics tean tis WAY BETTER

[mogwhylova]

graphics are terrible, im going back to minecraft

[MrCobaltNinja]

@mogwhylova Graphics dont make a game.

Gameplay does.

[EchoplexTheUltimatum]

@mogwhylova y'all must be shittin' me.

there are no "graphics", it's ASCII. herpicus derpicus.

[grancheater]

@EchoplexTheUltimatum Technically, there are: A spritesheet contains the ANSI characters, so there are graphics, but they are symbols and letters.

Exception for the Mac/Linux version that have a true text mode.

[EchoplexTheUltimatum]

@grancheater I still don't love you

[Closterdadthegreater]

Looks Boring....ill stick with what i play.

No Offense to who made this, you did a great job.

I just dont think this is my kinda game.
